“She is my friend, my hero, my favorite pop star of all time ― and everyone else’s,” Jamie Lynn said. “I’m so excited to present her with this well-deserved recognition.”

Please excuse us while we sob.

The performance comes nearly two months after an ATV accident left Jamie Lynn’s daughter in critical condition. Eight-year-old Maddie Aldridge was airlifted to a hospital in February after her ATV reportedly flipped into a pond. Aldridge has since made a remarkable recovery: Last month she was able to take a much-needed vacation at Disney World with her mom and aunt Britney.

After such a harrowing experience, we’re thrilled these two could celebrate together. Congratulations to Britney for her award and to Jamie Lynn for pulling off the perfect surprise!
